  • English Slipware Pottery
    24 GETTING THINGS DONE NAN MUSGROVE is a young potter working in the English Slipware tradition. She trained in the workshop of John Pollex, one of the best-known contemporary slipware potters, and moved to Marsden, near Huddersfield, in March 1979 to establish her own workshop. Training in slipware was a deliberate choice for her, partly because it gives great scope for decoration and partly because she responds to its intrinsic 'Englishness'. Most people are familar with craft copy of the Willow Pattern, in the 1702 said that it was nicknamed 'Little pottery that is glazed with sombre col- customary brown and yellow colours London' by the locals, presumably ours: greys, dull greens and soft of earthenware. because of its activity and smoke. browns.

    “ANYTHING BUT WHITE”: EXCAVATING THE STORY OF NORTHEASTERN COLONOWARE A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Keri J. Sansevere May 2019 Examining Committee Members: Paul Farnsworth, Advisory Chair, Department of Anthropology Patricia Hansell, Department of Anthropology Seth Bruggeman, Department of History Richard Veit, External Member, Monmouth University, Department of History and Anthropology © Copyright 2018 by Keri J. Sansevere All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT The study of historic-period pottery cuts across many disciplines (e.g., historical archaeology, material culture studies, American studies, art history, decorative arts, fine arts). Studies of historic pottery with provenience from the United States are largely centered on fine-bodied wares, such as porcelain, white salt-glazed stoneware, creamware, pearlware, whiteware, ironstone (or white granite), and kaolin smoking pipes. These wares share the common attribute of whiteness: white paste and painted, slipped, or printed decoration that typically incorporate the color white into its motif. Disenfranchised groups had limited direct-market access to these wares due to its high value (Miller 1980, 1991). White pottery was disproportionately consumed by White people until the nineteenth century. This dissertation examines colonoware—an earth-toned, non-white, polythetic kind of coarse earthenware. Archaeologists commonly encounter colonoware in plantation contexts and believe
